I was thinking of developing this concept into 3D glass shapes.....3D textured shapes (kinda like dilla's sphere examples, but not quite as good).....3D perspective depths......
Hmmmmm.....point source lighting would be nice for this   Steve

Jean!!! You have the distinction of being the only "luva" of this effect

Either way, you are the best!!!  Steve

I love this filter too, in all honesty I think that all of your filters are armed to the teeth with usefulness; I have just stoped commenting because you just keep coming up with more and more cool effects, I can't keep up. And I am getting tired of saying "this is my favorite filter of yours to date" but this is my favorite filter of yours to date. I like the clean clear feel of the glass.
Good job, can't wait for the submission of this beauty. |

Ohhh, I was just looking at this again and have a request for this filter, can you make it so we have the option of negating all the picture except the glass orb? That would be useful to me.

That's one of the reasons why I post samples and submit filters.....for feedback and to soak up positive reinforcement like a dry sponge

This really is quite nice, StevieJ!
I thought at first, when I came into the forum to poke about (something I haven't done yet), that you had already posted this up for download... but I guess not 
This could prove to be a filter I would use endlessly for all sorts of projects I have sitting around waiting for that 'just right' filter effect
Hope you will share it with us soon ~Foxxee~

Thanx Foxxee, glad you like it
I haven't posted it yet.....having trouble getting the "size, pixels" control to just increase/decrease the size of a single ball.....thought it would be easy, but it's not 
Okay, Ahimsa and Jean, is there an emocon package that will work from your browser.....that will allow you to plop them in the middle of sentences??? Steve

I don't think there is. I have the one from Smiley Central that will do it in emails though. I have just been using the attach file thing. Maybe there is a way to upload them somewhere and then add them as images here?

PS...I left a link for a zip containing a lot of these. If you go here, you can get the program that has all these and many more http://today.smileycentral.com/smiley...YYYYYYMSUS
You can insert these into an email and then save the email as a web page and all the smilies will be in a folder then. Saves time. |

looks like you used the frame component and refraction
I wonder if any one can figure out a way to fix the flipped diffuse on the outskirts with that technique I might take a stab at finding a solution Im wondering if the same technique I used to regress an effect for my linear step tile can be used to undo sections of the refraction to fix the offset on the outskirts Ill let you know If I make any progress on that might come in handy for this Just off the top of my head you could us an offset to compensate thats how I got the rotated effect with my distort image ball I wonder if you did a offset for after the refraction to the selected outskirts you should be able to flip the image back into allignment lets all whine for a wine port |

LMAO..... You got me, I walked right into that one
I'll try it.....
Thanks Craig Yeah, I've been experimenting around with exactly that....
Actually, I just used tile, kaleidoscope, and refraction. I think you might find it interesting how I bypassed all the grad, offset, and all but one curve to get this.... The edges were bad because I had refraction jacked up too high.....I toned it down and it took care of it..... Yeah, this has definitely reminded me alot of your work..... Steve

actually What I was reffering to was keeping the tile aspect but correcting the edge orientation I think it would look great to see it tiled over the surface instead of a single mapping --but the oriantation ends up wrong using a beveled gradient & a refraction component that way so I was speculating on manners in wich you could retain the tile but remove the incorect orientation by the edges Looks great either way lets all whine for a wine port |

Ah, your right, the orientations are wrong.....especially noticable at the bottom. Yeah, I'll try that to see if it will correct it.....

Volde, is there a way to keep the tile and kaleidoscope components from being effected by the "size, Pixels" control.....because I only want it to effect the size of one ball???

Thanx, here's a simplified snippet of it with an added frame component to show what I'm trying to do. I want the "size, pixels" control to adjust the size of a single ball and border.....and not create a grid of balls.....but the feedback so far is that it can't be done because there's no way to lock the tiles and kaleidoscope components.....

Weird distortion filter with 20 presets
BUT this filter does not make a crystal ball as shown on the first post, or I do not know how to make it and use the filter to make this. |
